Reincarnation Paradise

The sky-blocking crows were hovering over Shipwreck Island. It was true that Shipwreck Island was the territory of the Duke, but it was Baron Bourne who actually managed it.

The relationship between Baron Bourne and the Duke is not a superior-subordinate relationship, but more like a cooperative relationship. Baron Bourne is responsible for managing the Shipwreck Island and has a group of hundreds of guards under his command.

Baron Bourne holds 55% of the profits from Shipwreck Island, and the Duke shares 45%. All matters here are taken care of by Baron Bourne. The Duke only sent some pirates and incorporated Shipwreck Island into his own territory. , does not participate in management, but can take away more than 40% of the profits.

This seems to be exploitation, but in fact it is the approval of the great pirate Duke. According to the Duke's past behavior, he would have killed Baron Bourne long ago, taken the Shipwreck Island as his own, and let his cronies manage the island. In this way, All profits from Shipwreck Island belong to the Duke Pirates.

It’s not that the Duke can’t do this, it’s because the costs are higher than the benefits.

Black cursed crows were hovering in the sky, the sky was covered with clouds, the temperature on Shipwreck Island began to drop, and an energy invisible to the naked eye was mixed in the air.

There was chaos on the dock. The pirates who came here to sell stolen goods or supplies knew that something was going to happen. There were too many crows circling above, and the ominous feeling in the air made these pirates think of something. Rumor has it that where a large number of crows gather, the Doom is not far away.

The pirates all know about the existence of the Doom, but few people know it in detail. Most of the people who have seen the Doom are dead.

"Captain, there are too many crows, at least tens of thousands."

"Let brothers get on board and set sail."

"Load the fresh water first. We don't need the goods anymore. Kill them all."

There was even more chaos on the dock. Even if the connection between the Doom and the Crow was just a rumor, it was enough to make the pirates wary.

boom!

A dull and deafening gunshot silenced the chaotic port for a moment. Everyone's eyes turned to a man holding a flintlock gun in one hand and a mustache on his chin. He was Baron Bourne.

"Everyone, is anyone willing to stay and help me, the 'Bourne Family', fight against the Royal Navy? Each person will be rewarded with 20 gold coins afterwards."

Baron Bourne spoke loudly, and the pirates looked at each other, a little confused for a moment.

"Pfft~"

One of the pirates couldn't hold it back and sneered, and the next moment, a black gun was pointed at him.

boom!

A gunshot that jarred people's eardrums was heard. The sneering pirate stood frozen on the spot. His entire head and half of his upper body disappeared and exploded into large pieces of meat. The gap in his chest was vaguely a semicircle. There seemed to be something squirming on the exposed flesh and blood.

With a pop, the pirate with only two-thirds of his body fell down, and the dock became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Baron Bourne, if you can explain what's going on with the crows above, we are willing to help you face the enemy."

A pirate captain with an ugly face said, "This is a disaster. They can't leave."

"It's a witch. The Royal Navy coerced a witch into summoning these crows."

Baron Bourne left these words and, escorted by several guards, rushed towards the castle at the back of the town. His steps were a little hurried. His goal had been achieved, and the protection he had obtained through sacrifice was about to dissipate. If you continue to stay, you may be spotted by the black cursed crow above.

Baron Bourne's meaning is obvious. The pirates on the dock have two choices: assist the Bourne family to fight against the Royal Navy, or go to sea immediately and stay away from the shipwreck island. Otherwise, they will be the enemies of the Bourne family and the Duke.

This move is extremely cruel, leaving only cannon fodder. As for leaving, no one can leave after the arrival of the crows in the sky. No one can guarantee whether the pirates on the dock are mixed with people from the Bourne family or the Duke's pirate group. .

In a place like Shipwreck Island, there are no civilians at all. They are either pirates or people related to pirates, such as slave traders, businessmen who purchase stolen goods, etc.

"Full right rudder, set sail."

A pirate wearing a black turban stood on the bow of the ship and shouted that the captain of the ship had been killed by Baron Bourne, and the pirates on the ship were not prepared to take revenge.

The sails tilted, and a pirate ship was the first to go out to sea. After the pirate ship sailed half a mile away, the pirates watching on their respective ships breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to set sail.

Suddenly, a shrill scream came from the pirate ship half a mile away. The ship was surrounded by black fog, making it difficult to see what was happening on the deck. Only the screams could be heard.

In less than a minute, the pirate ship became quiet, and the surrounding black fog dissipated. The pirates near the dock found that the ship was parked on the sea and motionless. There were more than a dozen holes in the main sail and the deck. It was eerily quiet.

Click, click...

The pirate ship made crisp noises, and various parts of the ship's hull began to shatter, as if it was being dragged into the sea by an invisible hand. Not even a single plank of wood was left on the sea, and it disappeared from the sight of the pirates.

Seeing all this, the pirates near the dock felt frightened, and their first thought was to take refuge on the shipwreck island.

The sound of breaking wind came, and a ball of black energy with a diameter of one meter hit a pirate ship in front of the dock.

boom!

Deep-colored flames emerged, engulfing most of the hull that had been blown to pieces. The pirates who survived the flames wailed and turned into flaming figures and rushed into the sea.

Large burning wooden boards splashed around like a goddess scattering flowers. The pirates soon discovered that even if these burning wooden boards fell into the sea, the flames showed no sign of extinguishing.

At the same time, a four-masted ship sailed from a distance, its dark red main sail seemed to be soaked in blood, and black mist was released from the dark hull, covering the surrounding sea area.

"The Doom."

An old pirate turned and rushed to the dock, abandoned the ship and fled, preparing to seek refuge with Baron Bourne.

Gah, gah, gah.

Crows swooped down one after another, drowning the old pirate. In the crowd of crows, a sailor's knife was swung randomly, and after barely killing several black-cursed crows, the old pirate died miserably.

With the Doom in front and a flock of crows behind them, the pirates could only retreat to the dock. Their frightened eyes occasionally flashed with the viciousness of being forced into a desperate situation.

"We are being used by Baron Bourne. The Doom is here to find him. He wants us to die here to give him time to escape."

"It's already happened now, what's the point of talking about it."

A one-eyed pirate said coldly, if anyone messes with him now, the knife in his hand will be directed to the other person's throat.

"We can surrender to the Doom first, and then to Baron Bourne, and take the opportunity to capture Baron Bourne. The Doom's target must be him. His ancestors signed a blood contract with the Doom."

"Who is it, who is talking? Stand up!"

The pirates stood apart from each other, trying to find the person who had just spoken.

"It's your dad."

The voice just now spoke again.

"Come out here!"

The one-eyed pirate who had a wild father was extremely angry. His fierce one-eyed eye swept over the faces of each pirate, preparing to find the person who had just spoken.

"I'm joining the Doom. Don't kill me. I'm going to capture Baron Bourne now."

A pirate shouted. After waiting for a moment, he tried to walk towards the town behind the dock until he disappeared from everyone's sight and was not attacked by the black cursed crow.

"I also surrender."

"Count me in."

The pirates expressed their opinions one after another. Looking at it, they just wanted to kiss the ground to show their sincerity.

More than a hundred pirates marched towards the castle on the island. They first passed through the gate, entered the courtyard of the castle, and finally stopped in front of the castle.

The door of the castle was open, and it was dark inside. Because of the darkness, the castle looked like a giant beast at this time. The dark doorway was like the bloody mouth of the giant beast. As long as anyone entered it, they would be swallowed up.

The pirates couldn't help but feel frightened, but the crows hovering in the sky seemed to be urging them to enter the castle as soon as possible.

In desperation, the pirates entered the castle one after another. In fact, they were not planning to capture Baron Bourne alive, but preferred to take refuge here.

Quietness returned to the dark castle, as if no one had entered at all. A hand covered in blood suddenly came out of the darkness and grabbed it by the door. This hand was covered with fine bite marks, and some parts were exposed. skeleton.

Due to excessive force on this hand and the fact that its owner was being dragged in the dark, the nails on this hand gradually turned up, leaving several blood marks on the wall, and then it was dragged into the darkness and never appeared. Screams and cries for help.

In the black mist a few hundred meters away in front of the castle, Su Xiao was watching this scene. He deliberately let those pirates into the castle. Just now, he triggered a hidden mission, and the mission reward was [Overflowing Soul Box]. After opening this thing, you can get 100 soul crystals (complete).
